The Cherokee could use the land to build a casino, if Tennessee law were changed to allow that, but for now city officials say Cherokee leaders told them they believe it is a good spot for future commerce and are not banking on being able to build a casino. Officials with the City of Sevierville say the property is just off I-40 at exit 407. The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians (EBCI) is in talks to buy a parcel of land in Sevier County for 'future economic development.'
